mumble/teamspeak
2026-06-02 03:47:16
Has anyone had any luck moving their group over to teamspeak or mumble? My group and I are very much gen Z, and a lot of my friends are console players who have started playing on PC. It kinda makes sense that they would want to use discord because it's much easier to use, but I'm getting really fed up with discord and it's absolutely garbage electron client taking up half a gigabyte of RAM at any one point.
We already use a public teamspeak 3 server when the discord servers are down (which isn't really an infrequent occurrence).
What do you guys think? Has anyone successfully moved their group back to traditional VOIP?
PS: Honorary RIP to vent. I like to rewatch the ventrilo harassment videos once a year.

The servers are just big rooms connected to a master server which God knows where it sends your information. Customizability is a downgrade from TS too. In 2021-2022 Discord banned custom Music bots and custom themes can now lead to locking your account.
It really sucks though because Discord is so terribly made. Seeing the client alone use 500+ MB of ram is insane - the gaming consoles that I grew up playing would have had around 64MB. It's shocking work.
The platform has become a large monopoly, most of my friends excuses are that it doesn't work on Linux or requires some fiddling around but also sometime say "TeamSpeak just sounds bad" and "Typing sucks on there."
It depends on people, either they're willing to move on from the platform, or aren't even gonna budge.
